I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Beltane and May Day. Here in Peru it is autumn and today is Labor Day - seems like an excuse to let off lots of fireworks and have marching bands play! The nights are cold here - it is 11500 feet in Cusco and the days warm and sunny - pretty similar to the climate in La Paz which makes sense as it is only a few hundred miles away and 500 feet higher.
The people here are very friendly and happy to help me as I learn more Spanish, though I think my accent sounds a little weird! I am ok with some words but when a word is spelled the same as in English I sometimes have forgotten to use Spanish pronunciation of the letters! Fortunately Spanish spelling is 100% the same as the pronunciation (unlike English where the same letter may have several different sounds depending on the word) so I have hope that I will improve.
